Background: Irregular population growth is considered as a serious threat to the international community. It is also a major obstacle against nations' social and economic development. Thus, one of the ways to control the population is providing effective contraceptive methods. Vasectomy is one of the most effective, simple contraceptive methods confirmed by the World Health Organization. It is important to involve men in population control and reproductive health promotion. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the experiences of a group of vasectomized men.Methods: This qualitative study was conducted using a phenomenological approach. Subjects were 14 vasectomized men selected through purposive sampling. In-depth and open interviews with participants were conducted to collect data. Observations were also recorded in comprehensive field notes. A Colaizzi method was used to analyze the data transcripts.Findings: Four themes were driven from the obtained results which describe the structures of vasectomy-related experiences among men. These themes included opinions about vasectomy, impressions about vasectomy, vasectomy experiences, and recommendation to others.Conclusion: Recognizing experiences of vasectomized men and determining positive and negative aspects of this method would make specialists able to design effective vasectomy promotion training programs.
